  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • Problems of Uranium Waste and Radioecology in Mountainous Kyrgyzstan Conditions
    3 Problems of Uranium Waste and Radioecology in Mountainous Kyrgyzstan Conditions B. M. Djenbaev, B. K. Kaldybaev and B. T. Zholboldiev Institute of Biology and National Academy of Sciences KR, Bishkek Kirghiz Republic 1. Introduction It is known that uranium industry in the former Soviet Union was a centralized state management. Information flows related to the issues of uranium mining was strictly controlled and is in a vertical subordination of the structures of the Ministry of Medium Machine Building of the USSR. After the USSR collapse, the information about uranium mining and processing were not available in Kyrgyzstan, and all the data related to past uranium production, were in the Russian Federation in the archives of the successor of the former “Minsredmash”. The activity of the regulatory body in the field of radiation safety have been independent of the former USSR. The agency also was part of the “Minsredmash”, which was responsible for the nuclear industry. Application of regulatory safety standards ("standards") with respect to exposure and control of emissions of radioactivity in the field of mining and processing was similar in all organizations of the uranium industry, making it easier for their administrative use. The requirements of radiation safety often disappeared or were not fulfilled, because the task performance of production had priority at the expense of safety. The neglected environmental protection requirements and protection of human health in the process of extraction often the same reason and processing of uranium ores, and recycling. Environmental protection has not been determined as a priority, and have not been identified the relevant criteria of safe operations.

    86 (3) · December 2014 pp. 199–220 A revision of the Central Asian Scopaeus similis species group (Staphylinidae, Paederinae) Johannes Frisch Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity at the Humboldt-University, Invalidenstrasse 43, 10115 Berlin, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Received 7 October 2014 | Accepted 10 November 2014 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 December 2014 | Printed version 15 December 2014 Abstract The Scopaeus similis species group, distributed in Central Asia and the Middle East, is proposed for S. ferganensis sp. n. (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan), S. gissarensis sp. n. (Uzbekistan), S. hiekei sp. n. (Kazakhstan), S. longilobatus sp. n. (Kyrgyzstan), S. triangularis Luze, 1904 (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan), and two subspecies of S. similis Eppelsheim, 1892, S. s. similis (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan) and S. s. minor ssp. n. (Iran, Turkmenistan). It is described including bionomic and biogeographic information, followed by diagnoses of the included species, the distribution patterns of which are discussed and mapped. The S. similis species group is proposed a monophyletic clade using apomorphic characters of the primary sexual organs. Its phylogenetic position within Scopaeus Erichson, 1839 is discussed as well as the phylogeographic relationships within the species group. New country records are published for S. s. similis (Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan), S. similis incertae sedis (Afghanistan, India), and S. triangularis (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). Keywords Scopaeina | Tien Shan | Alai-Pamir | taxonomy | phylogeography 1. Introduction in the framework of a cooperation of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the Institute of Biology and Scopaeus Erichson, 1839 (Staphylinidae: Paederinae) Pedology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of constitutes a group of predominantly riparian rove Kyrgyzstan, clearly point to a rich diversity of Scopaeus beetles, which presently includes 452 valid species including many endemics.
